President Trump said Tuesday that cops like the ones charged in the killing of George Floyd represent “a small percentage” of the force.

In remarks delivered Tuesday before he signed an executive order promoting modest police reforms, President Trump lavished praise on the nation’s law enforcement officers, claiming that cops like the ones charged in the killing of George Floyd represent “a small percentage” of the force.

Steering clear of any mention of Floyd’s death, Trump said the number of “bad police officers” was “very tiny.” Story continuesAhead of the event, Trump said he had held a meeting with the “incredible families” of Ahmaud Arbery, Botham Jean, Antwon Rose, Jemel Roberson, Atatiana Jefferson, Michael Dean, Darius Tarver, Cameron Lamb and Everett Palmer, all African-Americans, most of whom had recently been killed by police. Yet none of those family members joined the representatives of police organizations who attended the Rose Garden signing along with Republican lawmakers and Cabinet members.

He also bashed Joe Biden, his Democratic rival in the November election, and former President Barack Obama, saying the two men “never even tried” to address police misconduct during their time in office. In the wake of Floyd’s death, Trump has painted himself as a president of “law and order,” frequently tweeting those three words to his followers. He has also promoted the idea that he draws his support from a “silent majority” of Americans who share his views, and on Tuesday he reinforced that idea.

Trump to sign police reform executive order on TuesdayU.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Tuesday that will seek to improve how police officers treat African Americans and others by improving credentialing, training and mental health resources, administration officials said. No Trump just issued a directive overturning America’s landmark worker protection law, and now corporations can transfer the savings of 100 million workers to Trump’s Wall Street donors — and this hasn’t been mentioned on TV, because nothing matters. Mental Health has nothing to do with being taught racism.
